Royal Oak in Bloom

As May approaches, more than 5,000 local residents have quietly waited for Royal Oak’s best kept secret to signal the true beginning of Spring. They've waited for a sign that it is indeed time to start planning and planting their gardens. That sign is an annual Royal Oak Chamber event: Royal Oak in Bloom.

On Sunday, May 12th (Mother’s Day) from 7 a.m. – 2 p.m., over 70 vendors with bring everything from flowers to landscaping dΓ©cor and participate in the 20th Annual Royal Oak in Bloom. This open-air marketΒ is filled with a spectacular selection of garden treasures and color, taking place in the Williams Street parking lot located in front of City Hall.

This year, Royal Oak in Bloom organizers, the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce will again include a β€œPlant Pick-Up Area” to make shopping and carting gardener’s purchases easier. Jones Lang LaSalle at Beaumont Hospitals will again be donating golf carts to help shoppers get their purchases back to their vehicles while Chamber member volunteers are on hand to do everything from monitoring traffic to assisting shoppers. Visitors will be able to pick-up information on other events happening in Royal Oak at the centrally located Information Booth.

Royal Oak in Bloom is free to the public.Β
